XMAX Starry 3

The Starry 3 has a removable 2600 mAh battery. Passthrough charging works — you can use the device while it charges.

The swappable battery extends on-the-go use: bring a charged spare and keep going without hunting for an outlet.

The Starry 3 is a portable vaporizer. It weighs 120 g — a comfortable weight for daily use.

The Starry 3 works with:

• dosing capsules (clean, quick loading)
• water pipe adapter (WPA, for cooler vapor)

Additional original accessories from XMAX are available separately.

The Starry 3 is a portable vaporizer by XMAX with conduction heating. It suits beginners and users looking for a straightforward device as well as dosing capsule users. Our price comparison shows it from €55.89 at 10 shops.

The Starry 3 uses a standard 18650 lithium cell, which is both its most practical feature and the one most often overlooked by new owners. Invest in two or three quality cells — Samsung 25R, LG HG2, or similar high-drain cells work well — and a dedicated external charger. This setup means you never wait for a recharge: swap a depleted cell in under 10 seconds and continue. External chargers also charge cells more evenly than in-device USB charging, which extends overall cell lifespan. Mark cells with a permanent marker to track their age and charge cycles.

The XMAX Starry 4 succeeded the Starry 3 with improvements to the air path and a refined heating chamber. The Starry 3 remains a capable vaporizer at a lower price point. Its hybrid heating system delivers satisfying sessions across its temperature range, and the 18650 swappability means it is arguably more practical for extended use than some newer sealed-battery competitors. If you find a Starry 3 at a significant discount, it remains a solid purchase. Those buying new who are comparing directly between the two models should choose the Starry 4 for the improved vapour consistency.

Remove the mouthpiece and use the included brush to clear the oven after every 3–4 sessions. The Starry 3's air path benefits from a weekly iso cleaning: disassemble the mouthpiece components, soak the non-electronic parts in 90%+ isopropyl for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water, and air dry. The small screen at the base of the oven chamber is worth inspecting and replacing monthly — a clean screen makes a noticeable difference in draw resistance. XMAX sells inexpensive replacement screen packs compatible with the Starry series.
